Across China: Intangible heritages add ethnic culture charm to holiday atmosphere

GUIYANG, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- Wan Yuan, 45, dips a knife into melted wax and makes a few strokes with it, resulting in a vivid butterfly pattern appearing on a piece of cloth.

This Miao ethnic craftsman from Qiaohai Village, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture in southwest China's Guizhou Province, watched his mother make batik when he was a child. Wan practiced and gradually mastered this craft.
